Homework assignments

All assignments refer to end-of-section problems (not "examples", not "review questions", not "review problems"!) as given in the text.

All homework assignments are due in class, at 8:30 AM on the day after the corresponding chapter has been covered in class. Late homework will not be accepted, except in cases of proven emergency. Show your work/calculation/justification; mere numerical answers will warrant no credit. It is recommended tha the students team-up for group-study, ideal for working on the homework problems. In addition, you are strongly recommended to:

1. follow through as many worked examples as you can;

2. attempt to answer as many conceptual questions as you can;

3. work out as many end-of-section problems, additional problems and group problems as you can;

4. discuss as many as possible of these with your colleagues in class.
